A Travis McGee Novel. SYNOPSIS: Harry Broll crawls out of the past, waving a gun and accusing Travis McGee of spiriting away his wife. Mary Broll and McGee had once been very close. Now, according to Harry, Mary has disappeared from their Florida home-vanished without a word to anyone. There is something about Harry's story that doesn't ring true, and when Travis and his friend Meyer learn about Broll's dubious land speculations and discover a comely divorcee stashed away in one of Harry's unsold condominiums, McGee's concern for Mary turns to a shudder of fear. He has to find her. The search takes McGee to the remote Caribbean island of Grenada, where amid the lush sun-warmed pleasures of a tropical paradise he finds more than the tourist literature promised: a tantalizing brunette masquerading as Mrs. Harry Broll, a trust-fund swindle so devious that even Travis is impressed, and a cherubic business executive with a maniacal lust for money and murder. After a close brush with death McGee thinks he has the answers and returns to Miami to outwait and outwit the brilliant, deranged mind behind Mary's disappearance-a scheme so clever, so foolproof that only McGee's being alive stands in the way of its success. John D. MacDonald's special feeling for the Florida coast, his tightly woven plots, and his convincing portrayal of contemporary life have made him widely read and admired. He has written more than 60 books, including the enormously successful Condominium and other best sellers. His Travis McGee novels have marked their hero and its author as American originals.
